This is what sports bars live for. Restaurants, too. Of course, it’s Super Bowl 3:30 p.m. Sunday this weekend and the hometown Seattle Seahawks are taking on the Denver Broncos in New Jersey. You knew that, right?

However, two places you won’t able to watch the big game is at Bar Dojo at Five Corners or Epulo Bistro on Main Street. The owners say they are considering Sunday a holiday – Seahawk Super Bowl Day – and will be closed in observance of the holiday. Hey, employees want to watch the game too!

But here’s a look at a few spots around town that do have Seahawk-flavored specials now or on Sunday. If we missed something, let us know by emailing teresa@myedmondsnews.com.

American Brewing Co.: Get ready for some amazing sound with new speakers. Lots of beer, of course, and beer-soaked hot dogs. Doors open at 2 p.m. Stay tuned for information on the brewpub’s upcoming third anniversary party.

A Very Taki Tiki Bar & Grill: Enjoy beer, shots, and sports pitcher specials while viewing the game on 13 screens. Game-day specials and happy hour.

Channel Marker: The popular sports bar will be one of the loudest places in Edmonds, and you’d better get there early. There are 10 big-screen TVs and almost 20 beers, domestic and microbrew, on tap.

ChurchKey Pub: The owners like to say that the Seahawks have not lost since this Fourth Avenue North establishment opened its doors just before the New Year. The Super Bowl will be playing on the pub’s big-screen TVs. Doors open at 10 a.m. on the weekends.

Demetris Woodstone Taverna: Edmonds’ award-winning tapas restaurant has its third annual Super Bowl party, and this one will be special as the home team is playing. Demetris’s all-you-can-eat buffet is $38, and there will be happy hour drink specials and $10 domestic beer buckets. In addition, Demetri’s will be handing out prizes throughout the game, including a K-2 snowboard. Celebrating at home? Order a party tray to go. Demetris features a 60-inch TV at the bar and four other 50-inch TVs.

Gallaghers’ Where-U-Brew: This is the place to go if you want to get a fresh, homemade batch of beer for your Super Bowl party. Growlers available too, of course, of you can simply visit for a pint. Dennis Gallagher has unveiled a new brew, a Mug Club beer called the Olympic Gold Blonde. It’s a smooth, 7 percent brew with oatmeal, chinook and simcoe hops.

Hamburger Harry’s: Come in for $3.50 well drinks and $3 Bud Light drafts. After Seahawk touchdowns, you can get $3.50 Fireball cinnamon whiskey shots. Happy hour during the game.

Kafe Neo:The big special here is the Beast Gyro (bacon, lettuce, tomato, avocado) with Greek fries and a side of Skittles, the favored candy of the Beast Mode himself, Marshawn Lynch. Wear your Seahawks gear and get 12 percent off in honor of the 12th man.

Las Brisas:The Mexican restaurant will have happy hour prices on drinks and food during the game. Try the taquitos – you won’t regret it.

Try the 12th Man Primo (pepperoni, salami, chicken, Mama Lil’s peppers, olives, and mozzarella with seasoned tomato sauce), and you’ll get a pack of Skittles with it, while supplies last.

Rory’s: $3 Coors Light pints on Sunday during the Super Bowl. Get there early if you want someplace to sit. Rory’s will get super loud. Lots of big-screen TVs to get you pumped.

For Sunday I’ve invited one of my Seattle jewelry artist friends to Edmonds so that we can attend the Noon “kick off” at MaJe Gallery, from there we’re going to “touch down” at the ChurchKey Pub, after which you will find us “in overtime” at the Tiki followed by several “passes” up the field — the Civic Field — toward home and the “end zone”.
